The Nitecore HU2000 headlamp has a maximum output of 2000 lumens from the NiteLab 10-Core UHE LED. The light comes with a USB-C extension cable that is compatible with most power banks available on the market, offering flexible power solutions to meet your needs. Please note, the Turbo level is only accessible when using a power bank with output ≥20W that supports PD protocol.

The recommended power supply is the NB10000 Gen 3, offering a 17 hours runtime or the Carbon Battery 6K provides 10 hours.

The requirement for a separate power source creates a split design, allowing the cell to be kept in a backpack or pocket, helping to keep it protected, warm and dry. The headlamp itself is extremely compact and lightweight at just 114g, reducing stress on your head and neck for increase comfort during extended use.

The HU2000 offers a 58.9mm light-emitting surface, giving a broad, three-dimensional field of view for excellent visibility and efficient use. The mount has an 85⁰ adjustable angle to direct the light as needed.

The head torch features a primary white light with outputs ranging from 20 to 2000 lumens, plus SOS and beacon. It also has an auxiliary red light to preserve night vision and for emergency use. The HU2000 is operated by a dual button interface; the power button turns the light on, off and cycling through the brightness levels, and the mode button switches between the light sources. Pressing both buttons activates the lockout mode to prevent accidental activation.

The headlamp has an emergency mode which activates when the connected power source runs low or is being replaced. The built-in battery of the HU2000 provides approx. 30 minutes of emergency lighting for added safety.

The HU2000 includes an anti-slip headband with reflective detailing and a red rear light. Alternatively, it can be attached to clothing, backpacks and accessories using the included clip.
